Can we restart the evolution thread?

That's putting the happenin' generation before the foundational mores.

Horse, meet cart. Now follow it.

I wonder if any of Solomon's 700 wives have any sisters for Yawn to shack up with.

The Bible was written thousands of years ago. Society has consistently evolved. Why hasn't religion? What was permitted then may not be now. And to blindly dismiss scientific advances is ridiculous , in my view.

Polygamy wasn't part of the EVOLVING New Testament.

And once again, hockeybeat lumps all of Christianity into one group. Not all Christians, including myself, take the literal seven-day plan or that everyone descended from Adam created in Iraq.

Name one problem you have with the Ten Commandments as far as societal mores.

You just referenced the old testament. Can't have it both ways, champ.

I dunno about macroevolution, but these Texas grapes I'm drinking evolved pretty well.



That's all I got.

No, I just drew an example from the Old Testament to challenge the validity of ancient cultural mores being useless today.

As for these, any decent human being should already inherently know not to do these things. I don't need a book to tell me that it's wrong to kill, steal or lie.

Same thing. You're picking and choosing.

Which is your basic struggle: You don't need a God to tell you anything.

Arguing with Yawn is like racing at Talladega -- you just keep going around and around until Rusty Wallace digs the nose of his car into the infield grass.

I know its wrong, but I'm laughing at this comment and getting strange looks here in the office from those sitting around me.

First thing you've posted on this thread that's correct, as nearly as I can tell.

What does morality have to do with the Creation?

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Create me, baby. Oooh, yes.
I remember that from a movie once.

 

[jgmacg]

That was from "Jenna/Sis 1 & 2" wasn't it?

depends on how you interpet a big bang

For the record, it's generally assumed that Cain and Abel both married their sisters, but it is explicit that Noah's wife as well as the wives of his 3 sons were on board the Ark.

What sisters?

What sisters?

They aren't recorded in the text, for the most part daughters aren't listed in all through Genesis but clearly existed.

Oh.
They're not in the Bible but they clearly existed.
Did you date one of them in high school?
